Abstract
A novel tool for both removing and inserting a plumbing fixture seal structure. The tool comprises an outer housing, an inner member having a tapered end, this inner member being reciprocably disposed at least partially within outer housing, and a means for retracting the tapered end of the inner member at least partially into the outer housing. The tool may also have a means for providing fluid communication between a hole in the seal structure and the ambient.
